[NEWS] 130103 The Fourth Annual Kpop Convention

For the Fans By the Fans

A jam-packed super-event which gathered an astounding 6000 plus audience, this is one way to describe the successful Kpop Convention 4. With their mission to raise funds for Gawad Kalinga Community Development Projects & the Philippine Animal Welfare Society, KCON 4 was the first and the biggest Fan -organized Kpop event in the Philippines. Fans of different Korean artists and idol groups gathered to enjoy and celebrate the Kpop Fever in Manila. The said event has gathered more than 50 fans’ clubs and each of them have their own booth where they showcased their love and support for their favorite Korean artists.

First held last December 2009, then the 2nd Phil Kpop Convention was held in December 11, 2010 at the PICC Forum while The 3rd Phil Kpop Convention was held in December 31, 2012 at the Megatent and the most recent was held on December 29,2012 in PICC Forums 1-3.

The Contests
The said event also highlighted the talents of Filipino Kpoppers through different contests and exciting performances!

There was the 4TH PHILIPPINE KPOP AWARDS where the fans hailed the best of the best in the Kpop world. Below is the list of the winners:

I’m from the Philippines and I haven’t seen a single local magazine featuring Jaejoong or JYJ. Hope with the growing popularity of Kpop here, some magazine writers/contributors will take notice of Jaejoong with this 3 consecutive years title. I’ll be the first one to grab any magazine having his face.

Thanks to all local and international fans who diligently voted once a day, I thought he’d lost this time because a lot of giant banners/posters/billboards (example: Suju boys modelling local clothing lines) of other Kpop male artist are spread around, in terms of popularity JYJ is still unheard except for fans.
By the list of winners :
Rookie of the Year – EXO
Hottest Male Artist – JYJ – Kim Jaejoong
Hottest Female Artist – 2NE1 – Dara Park
Best Male Artist/Group – Super Junior
Best Female Artist/Group – 2NE1
Song of the Year – CN Blue – Hey You
Album of the Year – Super Junior – Sexy Free and Single
… one can tell how strong the fanbase of SM idols here,
but I think SNSD can’t beat 2NE1 because of Sandara who is considered an adopted daughter here.
